    Not trying to steal your thread, but in 1961, the last time I was in Winnemucca, I stopped at the MODEL T TRUCK STOP. Is it still there?

    Thanks Mike,
    A big part of the reason the place "looks so good" is the wonderful cars you and Moriarity heiped us find over the years. For some reason you guys always find the good stuff first!!
    Looking forward to a super '09. Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas to everyone at the Flying A, they opened the garage late in the evening to accomodate my husbands 33 coupe which broke down on the way home from Bonneville.

    Thanks Again

    You have built a great place Ralph. You have a wonderful collection of cars. Dave has been such a gracious host to us when we have visited.
